Q1 Canyou tell about Railways Track inspection trolly in india A1 Kelvintrolley,7h Rails are such anembedded part of our society now that we seldom even notice them there. Theyhave become a natural truth. But we seldom take the time and the labor that goes into keeping therail and the tracks ship-shape, without any defects. But thefact is, the rail tracks often develop defects, many times considerable enoughto cause the obstruction in the rail path. And in extreme cases, it can alsolead to major accidents. But the railwaystrack inspectors work laboriously to avoid such mishaps. Which is where aRailway Track Push Trolly comes in. Since the rail inspections are carried outonly on the surface initially, to get an idea of what exactly the damage is, the trolley is used forthe task. Hand driven usuallyby two people while the track inspectors sitting on the designed seat, aRailways Track Push Trolley enables a careful and thorough inspection withoutany inconveniences. It's an all-mechanical trolley with no electricaltechnology involved to suit the nature of the inspection, which often involvesmultiple stops along the way. The Railway Track Push Trolley is also very ingeniouslydesigned keeping in mind the safety factors. It caneasily be lifted by a couple of men in case there is ever an emergency, like anincoming train on the same track or a mechanical fault in the trolley. My note- The officials who carryout such job is calledPermanent way inspector. While I was working in Sankagiriin Salem District I had two room mates who were PMWI. Those days trolley was manually pushed, nowthey too sit and defective points noted and attended by them. In spite of it many breaks occur in the rails. One of the reasons isthe tracks are not periodically replaced. Another reason is large number oftrains and superfast trains running. There is anupper limit the rails can bear. Further the rails are jointed without givingsmall breaks for expansion. Hence the tensile strength is reduced. Q2 Whatare the functions of the atoms found in the brain? A2 Ken Saladin,Freelance author of jestand mirth Nov 12 Their purpose isto keep the brain inflated (expanded) to its normal size to fill the cranialcavity.If there were no atoms in the brain, it would shrink dramatically and rattlearound in the skull when we walk.

A3 Samantha Kannan, Founder atUngaEnglish.com3y Absolutely not.Rich people in India live better than even rich people inAmerica, in my opinion. I've spoken brieflyon my time as a poor American. I know a few wealthy Indians, and they have itmade - super high interest bank accounts, intense respect given to them byeveryone, maids/cooks/drivers, whoa. PoorAmericans? Struggling to find their next meal, judgement from others, healthissues common because medical care is too costly. Even richAmericans, in my opinion, don’t live as well as rich Indians.I lived in a mansion for a few years and they didn’t have a driver or cook.Their neighbors were rude to them because their house was the biggest in theneighbourhood. Wealth seemed more like a burden than an asset. Whoever wrote thisquestion should visit India and stop relying on whatever nonsense media they'vebeen consuming.

A4 Balaji Viswanathan, Used to trade oilfutures4y It has to come in multiple steps: Electrify all the trains: Indian Railways is the largestconsumer of Diesel in India and in the next few years every locomotive will runon electricity (hopefully!) — Piyush Goyal wants it by 2020 — Railways targetsfull electrification with Rs 35000-crore plan although the finance ministry ispushing the deadline further so as to not waste the existing Dieselinfrastructure. Building dedicated freight corridors to reducetrucks. Indian railways has been building dedicated freight corridors to reducedependency on trucks and diesel.

Delhi to Fight Toxic Air with 1,000 >Electric Buses -Mercom India andIndia’s first-ever hydrogen fuel cell powered >bus by Tata Motors is here! . Also combine this with cycles for last mile travel. Move allelectricity production to renewables and nuclear: India is heavily investing insolar, wind and nuclear and should generate most of its energy from thesesources than coal and petroleum. India added more energy capacity fromrenewables than coal last year Electrify all the homes: In the next 4 years everyhome should be electrified and that should reduce the Kerosene consumptionsignificantly. India to achieve universal electrification under Saubhagyascheme India’s future is not electric car. But, it is in electricbuses and metro trains. And electricity produced with renewables in combinationwith nuclear [for night time] and new age battery technologies that doesn’t useLithium — World’s first thermal battery plant to be unveiled in Andhra Pradeshtoday.
